ArcGIS Pro

On-Premises virtualization

Using ArcGIS Pro in on-premises virtualization environments is
very common. ArcGIS Pro provides unparalleled geospatial functionality with a dynamic user experience that provides smooth panning and zooming of detailed 2D and 3D data. To deliver
this capability, the virtualization environment must support either
shared, or virtual, graphics processing units (GPUs) or pass-through GPUs.

This is accomplished with virtualized desktop infrastructure (VDI) VMs.
The most commonly used VDI environments provided by VMWare and
Citrix use NVIDIA GRID vGPU technology to deliver GPU
resources into the VM. This allows ArcGIS Pro to provide the same
graphical experience as a physical workstation.

Citrix XenApp is not a recommended application-virtualization solution due to its inability to provide adequate GPU resources to ArcGIS Pro sessions.
